Answer 1

Answer:

Janet's behavior suggests that she is a pseudolistener.

Explanation:

Pseudo listening, as the name suggests, is composed of the word pseudo (from Greek: not real or genuine) plus listening; therefore, when someone is pseudo-listening they present characteristics that they are minding what the speaker's saying, just like Janet did,  but in fact they’re pretending, ignoring or only partially listening.
